Jeremy Clarkson: "disgraceful and disgusting"

Jeremy Clarkson's remarks about shooting public sector workers are, according to Ed Miliband, "disgraceful and disgusting". Isn't that rather the point of comic exaggeration? Replace with "Jeremy Clarkson should be taken out and shot" (chortle chortle) and I'm sure no-one would bat an eyelid. Seems to me the best piece on this is by Index on Censorship's Padraig Reidy here.
